Ames, call Easyjet, make sure you get a name of the person you speak to and not the time. Tell them you are noting it down so if the plane is cancelled, you can quote it in a letter to get travelling expenses back.

just reading about the bad weather. Apparently there are about 30 people who went to a pub high in the Yorkshire Moors on New Years Eve and have been stuck there ever since because of snow.

Now, that's the kind of place to get stuck for 3 days :beer:

Look for him on the ALP Spud-he said it was 'carnage'

Thanks Scaredy and Linda, it's Ryanair so I'll phone them in the morning before setting off.

I wasn't allowed to go see Trainspotting at the cinema because I was under 18 and my parents didn't want me to see it. So I bought the book instead, which is far more graphic. I can't read any of his stuff now though, it's just too grim. I think it's fine when you're a teenager and think that nothing bad will ever happen to you, but when you get older and realise that anyone can be raped/murdered/get hooked on drugs then it becomes scarier. I can't read American Psycho either, even though I know the end.

Evening all

Been for my run and I did it - longest training run ever and fastest LSR ever - still got 14 weeks till the marathon so as long as I can stay fit its looking goooood

Never seen all of trainspotting - found it too gross for me

Toto - hope Fran feels better soon

Bunny, it's on the main bbc page too.

Just looked at the photos, blimey. That's right down by the river (well, duh, Shrewsbury is on a river!) but right by 3 major car parks.

DH should have been home about 45 mins ago and isn't. I am assuming they have gone to the pub-I am going to wring his neck...

Ummm maybe I am strage then because I love a graphic murder novel. Many a nights I have had a nightmare where I am acting out the murder of a novel I read that night :rotfl: The problem I have found is never to read anything you had been read/read when you were younger. In year 5 I was read Nicobobinus, brought it and read it a few years ago and it was awful :rolleyes: I read of mice of men for GCSE, I want to buy it to re-read but I am worried I will end up hating the book because its not as I remembered
